Blinding Lights arr. Michael Kamuf, Grade 2.5
Canadian singer The Weeknd’s hit “Blinding Lights” rose to number one on the charts in 34 countries including the U.S. and Canada. Taken from his fourth album After Hours and performed at the 2021 Super Bowl, the singer combines elements of pop music along with the synth-pop era of the 1980s. This piece is the perfect vehicle to reinforce syncopation while having fun! Arranged by Michael Kamuf, the infectious groove will make this a favorite of students and audience alike!
A Dua Lipa Duo (Medley) arr. Michael Story, Grade 2.5
“A Dua Lipa Duo” arranged by Michael Story combines two of the award-winning singer-songwriter’s biggest hits. Clear bowings and fingerings will help your students get in the groove. The arrangement is completely playable by strings alone, but there are optional parts provided for piano, drumset, and accessory percussion. Titles include: “Break My Heart” and “Don’t Start Now.”
